Have you ever been accused of being a conspiracy theorist because you believed the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump? Do you believe that the Democrats and their minion fixed the election? Are you afraid that this mess will happen again and there will not be another Republican President again because the fix worked so well? Have you been banned from social media because you said the election was fixed?
Well, Time Magazine has said the quiet part out loud and has justified the stolen election. I’m not kidding.
Remember this: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean someone isn’t after you.
The Secret of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election by Molly Ball
Feb. 4 2021
A weird thing happened right after the Nov. 3 election: nothing.
The nation was braced for chaos. Liberal groups had vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country. Right-wing militias were girding for battle. In a poll before Election Day, 75% of Americans voiced concern about violence.
Instead, an eerie quiet descended. As President Trump refused to concede, the response was not mass action but crickets. When media organizations called the race for Joe Biden on Nov. 7, jubilation broke out instead, as people thronged cities across the U.S. to celebrate the democratic process that resulted in Trump’s ouster.
Why is anyone surprised? Over the six months before the election, what violence had right-wing groups done?
A second odd thing happened amid Trump’s attempts to reverse the result: corporate America turned on him. Hundreds of major business leaders, many of whom had backed Trump’s candidacy and supported his policies, called on him to concede. To the President, something felt amiss. “It was all very, very strange,” Trump said on Dec. 2. “Within days after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint the winner, even while many key states were still being counted.”
In a way, Trump was right.
“Odd thing”? How is corporate American turning on Trump an “odd thing”? The media had been pissing on Trump from day one.
Also, it makes sense that big corporations would jump on the Biden band wagon.
- They want to stay on the good side of the Biden administration so it will leave them alone.
- They want big regulations to choke off the competition.
- Most big companies are liberal (leftist) including Google, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Nike and Apple.
- Biden is friendly to China, a source for big corporations’ cheap production through China’s slave labor.
This is an attempt to hide the Leftism of the institutions. It’s not like these institutions were suddenly Leftist. They just couldn’t do what they wanted until Biden got elected.
There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans. The pact was formalized in a terse, little-noticed joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO published on Election Day. Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain–inspired by the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests–in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump’s assault on democracy.
Again, this conspiracy has always been there.
The handshake between business and labor was just one component of a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election–an extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted. For more than a year, a loosely organized coalition of operatives scrambled to shore up America’s institutions as they came under simultaneous attack from a remorseless pandemic and an autocratically inclined President. Though much of this activity took place on the left, it was separate from the Biden campaign and crossed ideological lines, with crucial contributions by nonpartisan and conservative actors. The scenario the shadow campaigners were desperate to stop was not a Trump victory. It was an election so calamitous that no result could be discerned at all, a failure of the central act of democratic self-governance that has been a hallmark of America since its founding.
Couple of things:
This was not bipartisan.
This was dedicated to, not so much Biden winning the election, but to Trump losing the election. And to think that this was separate from the Biden campaign is absolutely insane. Joe Biden hid during the entire campaign. He did not answer any questions. He did not state any policies. He wanted to cancel all debates. The Joe Biden campaign knew what was going on. They knew the fix was in. This is not conspiracy theory, this is simple observation and reason.
Also the concept of “fair, credible and uncorrupted” elections is not going to be forwarded by no voter IDs, mail-in ballots, closed off counting areas, ballot harvesting, automatic voter registration, polling that proved completely wrong, early voting (even before the debates) and changing election law during the election. And, if there is manipulation, doesn’t that mean the election was rigged?
Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result. “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation,” says Norm Eisen, a prominent lawyer and former Obama Administration official who recruited Republicans and Democrats to the board of the Voter Protection Program.
In other words, they manipulated the election. They are not even hiding it any more. Maybe all of Trump’s “conspiracy theories” of a stolen election tuned out to be true. This article seems to indicate that.
But I’ll go a step further: This election was trying to be manipulated way ahead of 2020.
- They accused Trump of stealing the election with help from the Russians.
- They promoted a story about Stormy Daniels.
- They accused him of not paying his fair share of taxes.
- When he refused to hand of his taxes, they started investigations into fraud.
- They accused and impeached him for a ten minute phone call to Ukraine.
- They manipulated his speech after Charlottesville.
- They manipulated his speech about the border and created the narrative that he hated Mexicans.
- They called him a despot, a dictator, a Nazi, a Hitler, a madman who needed to have the 25th Amendment used to pull him out of office.
- And, every day, he’s being called a racist, xenophobe, misogynists, anti-Semitic bigot.
This election was being manipulated four years ago.
For Trump and his allies were running their own campaign to spoil the election. The President spent months insisting that mail ballots were a Democratic plot and the election would be “rigged.” His henchmen at the state level sought to block their use, while his lawyers brought dozens of spurious suits to make it more difficult to vote–an intensification of the GOP’s legacy of suppressive tactics. Before the election, Trump plotted to block a legitimate vote count. And he spent the months following Nov. 3 trying to steal the election he’d lost–with lawsuits and conspiracy theories, pressure on state and local officials, and finally summoning his army of supporters to the Jan. 6 rally that ended in deadly violence at the Capitol.
The democracy campaigners watched with alarm. “Every week, we felt like we were in a struggle to try to pull off this election without the country going through a real dangerous moment of unraveling,” says former GOP Representative Zach Wamp, a Trump supporter who helped coordinate a bipartisan election-protection council. “We can look back and say this thing went pretty well, but it was not at all clear in September and October that that was going to be the case.”
Jimmy Carter, the 39th President and a Democrat, said that mail-in balloting was just asking for corruption in an election. We already went over this in a previous podcast.
Like I pointed out earlier, Trump wanted the election to be run legally. It was the Left that manipulated the election including changing the laws within states like Pennsylvania. The vote count were not transparent. There was auditing of the votes. A lot of votes that did not have signatures or valid addresses were counted.
As far as I’m concerned, the country is going through a very dangerous moment. If our elections can be manipulated, we may never see another Republican in office again. This will just lead down to tyranny. China could not have drawn this up better. And we can see this through Cancel Culture, the reaction to religion and the redefinition of our norms.
This is the inside story of the conspiracy to save the 2020 election, based on access to the group’s inner workings, never-before-seen documents and interviews with dozens of those involved from across the political spectrum. It is the story of an unprecedented, creative and determined campaign whose success also reveals how close the nation came to disaster. “Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated,” says Ian Bassin, co-founder of Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan rule-of-law advocacy group. “But it’s massively important for the country to understand that it didn’t happen accidentally. The system didn’t work magically. Democracy is not self-executing.”
That’s why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.
Like I said earlier, they aren’t even hiding it. They did rig and fix the election and it was done by the elites of this society. But this is seen as a good thing because Trump was do evil and it was to…save the democracy? Save it from what? We dumb people who don’t know what’s good for us?
If this is true, and I think it is, then our Democracy is lost and, in no time, we
